Their story has been a long time in coming. I apologize to readers who have been patiently waiting for another installment in this series. Just remember, the best way to get what you want is to write, message me on Facebook or Twitter and ask. It's that simple. I promise!
So, this short, unedited excerpt of Gideon's Angel is for those of you who have been waiting for it these past few years. Thank you for writing and asking me to finish it.
Gideon's Angel:
Frumpy and forty-something, Tara Tarolf, is a vampire slayer. After losing her husband to cancer, she devotes her life to making the streets safe for humans by hunting down rogue Cartuotey and bringing the hammer of justice down upon them. In her opinion, men were too much work. She already had one husband, she wasn't looking to add another man to her life.
On the verge of committing suicide, Gideon Molfetta is everything she had ever dreamed of in a man. It was too bad he was on the verge of committing suicide to avoid becoming the most dreaded of his kind and she wasn't a guide. His kind mated with guides and Tara had no idea what her kind even was. Could she convince Gideon that his mate was worth waiting for, and would he ever tell her what it was he knew about her kind?
Excerpt:
“So, as you can see,” I said, my hands
still raised high above my head. “There’s really no reason to kill me.” Pausing, I peered through eerie
silence at the man who still had the laser sight of his pistol trained on the
base of my throat and sighed with relief. “It’s about damned time.” The words
came out almost a snarl. Where did a common thug get such an expensive pistol?
Dropping my arms, I rolled my
aching shoulders forward and back, trying to release the tension from holding
my hands up over my head for so long. In the mood to be nasty, I had an
incredible urge to kick the jerk in the crotch for preying on innocents the way
he did. Instead, I stood glaring at him for a minute before I tossed the idea
aside.
The guy stared off into space, his
eyes unfocussed. Admittedly, it was the first time I had
ever been proud of my dubious gift to talk someone into a mindless stupor.
Still, it was better than killing the jerk.
The twenty-seven dollars in my
wallet wasn’t worth dying—or killing—over. The man had no idea who he’d been
dealing with. If the darkness was a thief’s best friend then it was my lover. I could hide from the world in
the daytime. At night, I could practically disappear.
I scurried away from the idiot,
grabbing his gun before I left. I didn’t need it but I didn’t want him
descending on some unsuspecting mundane with it either. Since a mundane—also
known as a person with no magical abilities—wouldn’t have any way to defend
themselves like me, I figure it’s my duty to keep scum like that from preying
on them if I can.
It was a good thing a cold front
came down from Canada earlier in the morning and I had been wearing gloves. Leaving
my prints on the gun was out of
the question, since it was about to make an unannounced appearance at the
nearest police station.
I moved quickly out of my mugger’s
line of sight, unsure of how long his stupor would last and whether or not he
had another gun hidden on his filthy person. Buildings blurred by me as I ran
through the dark streets looking for a cop.
Glancing back through the darkness
I frowned. I had lulled him into that stupor, because I hadn’t wanted to hurt
the jackass. I hadn’t accidentally killed anyone yet and I certainly didn’t
want to start any time soon.
However, I wouldn’t go so far as saying I’ve
never taken a life. In fact, I take lives on a fairly regular basis. But then,
I’m a vampire hunter. Taking lives is kind of a prerequisite for the job. Not
that I get a salary for it. Besides, killing a vampire wasn’t like killing a human was
it? I mean…they’re dead
already. Right?
